Fr33zypop Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hey everyone, just wanted to through a post up about my new toy and get some questions possibly answered. This isn't my first ATV/ATC but first one in a long time and first Banshee. I little background on my I have grown up in Bismarck, ND. I have been wrenching on something for 18 years but never had a project toy like this. My past toys were a 75 Ward green 5hb three wheeler (pics only by request lol), a 87 Tri Z, and a 01 I think Honda 350ex. I picked this 94 Banshee up last week at a pawn shop with zero background on it other than it ran and drove without smoking I think I got a pretty great deal on it thats why I snagged it up. Since I don't have a clue about some of the stuff I had a long time friend thats been tinkering with 2 strokes for ever stop by. We can see it has some nice mods (vforce reeds, coil over suspension, and Bills pipes) but I don't know much other than that. I was hoping for some help identifying the rear sway arm and air box. Front shot - https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ahh7A5gh6kYDrjrmpTWctRMDGf6D Swaybar - https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ahh7A5gh6kYDrjrmpTWctRMDGf6D Airbox - https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ahh7A5gh6kYDrjrmpTWctRMDGf6D I took the airbox out to clean the sand from that and the carbs and had a hell of a time getting it back in correctly. It sits really close to the carbs to be able to fit the coolant reservoir. I think it i cut about a 1/4 inch off the mounting plate it would fit better. The pipes also rub pretty are on the airbox. Is that going to be fine? I know I will need a new sprocket set by next year but the rear end looks good. Just can't tell the brand to so some research. It's been a long time since I've been in a forum so hope I figure out your lingo quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr33zypop Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 what type of riding do you do? just dunes? There’s isn’t much for wide open spaces here but some motocross type runs in a wooded area off the Missouri River. It’s for atvs to mud trucks. I haven’t rode in a while in that area to know exactly what it’s like but I took my truck there last winter and still looks fun.

gusto Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Get a pic of the rear of the swing arm not the side either way bike looks pretty good. You got aftermarket swing arm and carrier, tors delete, throttle change, reeds, a arms? Take a close up of the a arms. It’s a good start that’s for sure Edited July 24, 2018 by gusto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a mod quad swingarm and Alba a arms. Also see an exteneded axle. Tires are new. Stage 1 Elka fronts. Take off the shock covers they will rub the spring raw and keep in first. nice buy!

Fr33zypop Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I thought I would share some of the sweet finds I've made so far. So after taking the carbs off and cleaning sand out I couldn't get it running. Pulled the plugs and found the tips on bother plugs were gone. One tip was stuck in the boot - smh. I got that out and started just fine after wards. Then last night I added some coolant as it was low and the reservoir was empty. I filled it to full and walked away. I came back and had all dumped out. I was wtf as I was hoping to ride it this weekend. So I gathered it had to been something from the reservoir . I followed the lines one to the radiator and one that was mounted to the front frame to dump out. I researched to be sure it just common to have it just dump out and realized the lines on the reservoir where backwards. Swapped the lines and I ride tomorrow morning. I have a little bit of tweaking to do with the idle tonight but after reading some posts and watching some youtubes I think I know what to do. It runs and snaps fine but idles like crap. I checked last night and it doesn't look like they ground the tube on the carb with the new idle screws. I'll take the lock bolt off and see if I can get it to idle better.

camp0429 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 If your going to own a Banshee you should really look into the sync tool to set your idle. Nice to have around so you can re-set it after anytime you mess with the carbs https://farmandsandtoys.com/ocart2/carburetor-sync-tool.html?search=carb sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
